India had fielded a 19-member strong contingent in the tournament that attracted talented boxers from powerhouses like China, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, South Korea, and host Thailand.
Speaking on India’s achievement, BFI President-Chairman, Interim Committee, Ajay Singh, said: “I want to extend my heartiest congratulations to our medallists at the Thailand Open. This performance reflects the growing depth and consistency that our boxers are capable of on the international stage. They have shown composure, skill, and strategic maturity against some of the best in the world, especially in the heavier weight categories this time around.
It’s a clear sign that the systems we’ve put in place are working. As we now shift focus to the second leg of the World Cup in Kazakhstan, we carry forward this momentum and belief. The goal is clear, to keep building, keep performing, and keep raising the bar.”
